Just a little thank you to all of you who have shared in our lives since Weston was born, listened to me vent about frustrations, given me wonderful encouragement and advice. I have enjoyed these past couple of months more than anything; West brings out the joy in little things, makes me laugh constantly, and challenges the heck out of me. I am so blessed to have the chance to teach, nurture, and love this little guy every day. I love my little nugget!
Thanks for all the prayers and support!

Ryan swept me away for the night to Skamania Resort and Spa, it was beautiful! We had an awesome time; the weather was gorgeous, our view was amazing, the dinner was so yummy, and I even had flowers in the room welcoming me!
Thanks Meme and Papa! Thanks Ryan for planning such a fun 6 year celebration!

These are most of Weston's buddies in our neighborhood. There are so many boys around here! Liam (on the end with the red shirt), had a wonderful 4th birthday party; Weston was so excited about his juice, he didn't even notice the cupcakes. So I ate them for him :)

We played with play dough for a while...

Weston loved this sprinkler, he was one of the only little guys who would run right up to it, stick his face in the water, then sprint away laughing.

He was a kick to watch, and loved playing with the big kids. Thanks Tina for a great party!

We love the summer time, and boy does it fly by... I'll do a little back tracking to catch you up. Weston was able to spend some time with family a couple of weeks ago at my parents. He had so much fun with Spencer and all the attention and entertainment!

They played in the pool... As you can see, when West gets excited he starts walking around clapping his hands together.

They discovered all sorts of new toys at Grandpa and Grandma Zeigen's!

We used to go out to the lake all the time, I'm so glad Weston was able to spend time out there with Spencer while the sun is out. (Notice the glare from West to Spence... "this is my Grammy").

Aunt Shirley pulled the boys around in the tube and they loved it! I think it distracted them from caring about their life jackets...
Thank you Dow Family for always being so gracious to us with your home!

About Us

This is a blog of our boys; to keep our family and friends involved with our daily life. We're not so good at baby books, so this is a way for Ryan and Ali to treasure bits and pieces of how much Weston and Merrick continue to change our lives... and we are constantly trying to keep up with them!
